"Insofar as the 'iceman' was found to possess both mutations, the possibility that he was unable to father offspring cannot be eliminated," the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in the Alpine town of Bolzano said in a statement. "This not improbable hypothesis raises new questions concerning his social rank within his society," it added, arguing that the new evidence supported a theory that viewed the man as a social outcast.
Of all the stupid bloviations anthropologists have made over the years based on little more than thin air, this is the dumbest. Yeah...his hunter-gatherer colleagues KNEW he was sterile and that's why they killed him.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
